Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigeration (ADR) does not use working fluids contrary to conventional refrigerators that make use of the fluid density difference, which leads to superiority of the ADR under the weak gravity condition. We developed a continuous ADR system to provide constant cooling temperatures ca. 0.1 K. The system consists of four stages of magnetic materials and magnets cascaded with heat switches. A G-M cycle cooler with a 100 V compressor unit is used to cool the ADR and cryostat shieldings. Cooling tests with Transition Edge Sensor on the ground showed that the ADR provided continuous cooling temperatures between 105 mK and 120 mK and it successfully operated the TES. The ADR could provide stable temperature under the weak gravity, however, for the experiment of solid helium, the ADR could not achieve below 1K keeping with continuous cycle. This is the reason that the ADR did not have any thermal anchor like 1 K pot. We have been considered a new continuous ADR system which had 5 stages. This ADR will provide two continuous temperatures, 0.1 K and 1-2 K, by using with 3 stages and 2 stages continuous Carnot cycle, respectively.
